Agricultural and farming accidents can often result in life changing, debilitating and sometimes even fatal injuries. Our understanding and experienced lawyers are here to support you through the entire personal injury claim process to help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Farming Accident Compensation

Working in the agricultural industry is hazardous and can expose you to various risks.

Your employer is legally responsible for providing a safe working environment, the appropriate training and efficient safety equipment to protect your safety and welfare. Our specialist accident at work lawyers are experienced in helping clients who have suffered an injury due to a farming or agricultural workplace accident, including but not limited to:

• Agricultural Diseases
• Animal Injuries and Diseases
• Asbestos Exposure / Disease
• Exposure to chemicals in pesticides
• Dangers from Overhead Power Lines
• Drowning or Asphyxiation
• Farm Vehicles and Machinery
• Fatalities & Inquest Representation
• Manual Handling
• Faulty Safety Equipment or Training

The agriculture, forestry and fishing industries can be dangerous working environments, especially if precautions are not taken. There continues to be a genuine, ongoing risk of death and serious injury on farms and other agricultural workplaces. Tragically, The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reports that the agricultural worker fatal injury rate is 21 times higher than the average five-year annual rate across all industries.

We understand how uncomfortable you may feel about making a farming accident claim against your employer or worried about losing your job because of making a personal injury claim. However, there are various laws to protect you and our team will advise and support you throughout your claim.
